Motherless Brooklyn

I listened to Motherless Brooklyn in audio form, and I highly recommend you do the same. I have a feeling my rating may have been a little less if I had read it in book form. Although I wouldn't recommend listening to it in a public place. (Luckily for me, I'm all alone in the office on the weekends.)
This is the sort of mob-crime-mystery story that most people have read or at least watched in movie form at some point, but with a twist. The narrator and main character has Tourette's and OCD.
The potential for this portrayal to be problematic is high, of course, but I was pleasantly surprised. The author manages to make the reader/listener sympathetic to the character without making him pitiable. The story itself kept me hooked despite it's slight predictability simply because the narrator was so damn interesting.
Loved it.
